It might take some time. Longer Version: 1) Multiple components : I found out that in fact it is common for linux devices to register multiple components. For most, it is a combination of the dmaengine generic and the actual device component, but other register more component. Ex: - vc4-hdmi - atmel-classd - atmel-pdmic - cros-ec-codec - mtXXXX-afe-pcm I suspect these trigger the debugfs warning Even dummy register two components :D All devices using devm_snd_dmaengine_pcm_register() and devm_snd_soc_register_component() are exposed to clean-up issue in case of deferral. That's because snd_soc_unregister_component() unregisters all the components registered the device. I suppose there might be other problems when using the devm API with this function. 2) Fixed component names: Several card driver assume the component name is the device name and won't query the actual component name or node. Ex: - sun4i-codec - omap-hdmi - vc4-hdmi - sof-nocodec So changing the way ASoC generate the component names might break these cards. It gets tricky because the same cards driver might register multiple component themselves, like vc4-hdmi. > > From b2354e4009a773c00054b964d937e1b81cb92078 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > From: Jerome Brunet <jbrunet@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 14:47:04 +0100 > Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: core: ensure component names are unique > > Make sure each ASoC component is registered with a unique name. > The component is derived from the device name.
